  • Abstract Tracing Hydrocarbon
    ABSTRACT TRACING HYDROCARBON CONTAMINATION THROUGH HYPERALKALINE ENVIRONMENTS IN THE CALUMET REGION OF SOUTHEASTERN CHICAGO Kathryn Quesnell, MS Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences Northern Illinois University, 2016 Melissa Lenczewski, Director The Calumet region of Southeastern Chicago was once known for industrialization, which left pollution as its legacy. Disposal of slag and other industrial wastes occurred in nearby wetlands in attempt to create areas suitable for future development. The waste creates an unpredictable, heterogeneous geology and a unique hyperalkaline environment. Upgradient to the field site is a former coking facility, where coke, creosote, and coal weather openly on the ground. Hydrocarbons weather into characteristic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which can be used to create a fingerprint and correlate them to their original parent compound. This investigation identified PAHs present in the nearby surface and groundwaters through use of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), as well as investigated the relationship between the alkaline environment and the organic contamination. PAH ratio analysis suggests that the organic contamination is not mobile in the groundwater, and instead originated from the air. 16S rDNA profiling suggests that some microbial communities are influenced more by pH, and some are influenced more by the hydrocarbon pollution. BIOLOG Ecoplates revealed that most communities have the ability to metabolize ring structures similar to the shape of PAHs. Analysis with bioinformatics using PICRUSt demonstrates that each community has microbes thought to be capable of hydrocarbon utilization. The field site, as well as nearby areas, are targets for habitat remediation and recreational development. In order for these remediation efforts to be successful, it is vital to understand the geochemistry, weathering, microbiology, and distribution of known contaminants.

  • Taxonomic and Functional Characterization of Human Gut Microbes Involved in Dietary Plant Lignan Metabolism
    Taxonomic and Functional Characterization of Human Gut Microbes Involved in Dietary Plant Lignan Metabolism Isaac M. Elkon A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science University of Washington 2015 Committee: Johanna W. Lampe Meredith A.J. Hullar Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Public Health © Copyright 2015 Isaac M. Elkon University of Washington Abstract Taxonomic and Functional Characterization of Human Gut Microbes Involved in Dietary Plant Lignan Metabolism Isaac M. Elkon Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Research Professor Johanna W. Lampe Department of Epidemiology Background: Dietary plant lignans, such as secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG), are metabolized to the enterolignans, enterodiol (END) and enterolactone (ENL), by gut microbes. Evidence suggests that enterolignans may reduce risk of cardiovascular disease and several forms of cancer. Our aim was to characterize the microbial community involved in enterolignan production by using an in vitro batch culture system to enrich for lignan-metabolizing organisms. Methods: Stool samples from eight participants were incubated separately for ~1 week with a mineral salts media containing formate, acetate, glucose, and 6.55 µM SDG. Daily secoisolariciresinol (SECO), END, and ENL concentrations were measured using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GCMS). Microbial community in initial stool (Day 1) and in vitro-incubated fecal suspensions (final-day) was assessed via Illumina paired-end 16S rRNA gene amplicon and whole-metagenome shotgun sequencing. 16S rRNA gene sequences were taxonomically annotated using an in-house QIIME pipeline. Metagenomic shotgun sequences were taxonomically annotated using MetaPhlAn and functionally annotated using DIAMOND and HUMAnN. Annotation-based alpha diversity, organism abundance, and functional gene abundance were used to assess differences between Day 1 and final-day microbial community composition.

The microbiota of outdoor hens consisted of lower numbers of bacterial species than the microbiota of indoor hens. At the phylum level, microbiota of outdoor hens was enriched for Bacteroidetes (62.41 4.47% of total microbiota in outdoor hens and 52.01 6.27% in indoor ± ± hens) and Proteobacteria (9.33 4.99% in outdoor and 5.47 2.24% in indoor hens). On the other ± ± hand, Firmicutes were more abundant in the microbiota of indoor hens (33.28 5.11% in indoor ± and 20.66 4.41% in outdoor hens). Horizontally transferrable antibiotic resistance genes tetO, ± tet(32), tet(44), and tetW were also less abundant in the microbiota of outdoor hens than indoor hens. A comparison of the microbiota composition at the genus and species levels pointed toward isolates specifically adapted to the two extreme environments.

  • Abnormal Composition of Gut Microbiota Is Associated
    Zhang et al. Translational Psychiatry (2019) 9:231 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41398-019-0571-x Translational Psychiatry ARTICLE Open Access Abnormal composition of gut microbiota is associated with resilience versus susceptibility to inescapable electric stress Kai Zhang1,2, Yuko Fujita1, Lijia Chang1,YougeQu1,YaoyuPu1, Siming Wang1, Yukihiko Shirayama1,3 and Kenji Hashimoto 1 Abstract Increasing evidence indicates that abnormalities in the composition of gut microbiota might play a role in stress-related disorders. In the learned helplessness (LH) paradigm, ~60–70% rats are susceptible to LH in the face of inescapable electric stress. The role of gut microbiota in susceptibility in the LH paradigm is unknown. In this study, male rats were exposed to inescapable electric stress under the LH paradigm. The compositions of gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acids were assessed in fecal samples from control rats, non-LH (resilient) rats, and LH (susceptible) rats. Members of the order Lactobacillales were present at significantly higher levels in the susceptible rats than in control and resilient rats. At the family level, the number of Lactobacillaceae in the susceptible rats was significantly higher than in control and resilient rats. At the genus level, the numbers of Lactobacillus, Clostridium cluster III, and Anaerofustis in susceptible rats were significantly higher than in control and resilient rats. Levels of acetic acid and propionic acid in the feces of susceptible rats were lower than in those of control and resilient rats; however, the levels of lactic acid in the susceptible rats were higher than those of control and resilient rats. There was a positive correlation between lactic acid and Lactobacillus levels among these three fi 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; groups.

  • Abstract Mammalian Derived Ruminococcaceae
    ABSTRACT MAMMALIAN DERIVED RUMINOCOCCACEAE POPULATION AS MOLECULAR TARGET OF FECAL CONTAMINATION By Nilay J. Sheth Domesticated animal’s fecal material, as agricultural runoff is a contributor to decreased water quality and subsequent, human exposure to waterborne illness. Fecal contamination of water sources is currently monitored by bacteria indicators such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), enterococci, or fecal coliforms. However, these bacteria typically comprise less than 1% of the intestinal bacterial population, and may not precisely predict the human health risk associated with fecal contamination. The mammalian intestinal tract is dominated by the bacterial phylum Firmicutes and a major population is the family Ruminococcaceae. The main objective of this research was to determine if animal derived Ruminococcaceae can be used as an alternative molecular indicator target for the detection of fecal pollution in surface water. To address this objective a 16S rRNA molecular target for mammalian specific Ruminococcaceae was created using the characterized diversity of rumen gastrointestinal/fecal microbial community. The Ruminococcaceae target was amplified from the fecal DNA samples of dairy cow, pig, goat, camel, bison, and water buffalo. The target population was not amplified from horse, chicken, goose, and human sewage influent DNA samples. In natural water spiked with fresh cow fecal material; the culturable indicator E. coli was detected for four days as compared to one day post inoculation, illustrating rapid signal loss. Following rain events, this population was detected in surface water samples from Spring Brook creek (n=10) and only one sample from Fox River, indicating this creek receives animal fecal pollution. The bacterial community analysis of Spring Brook and Fox River water samples demonstrated an increased diversity in the Spring Brook samples.

Microorganisms, including bacteria, archaea, viruses, parasites and fungi, have often long co-evolved with their hosts. In human, the structure and diversity of microbiota vary according to the host’s immunity, diet, environment, age, physiological and metabolic status, medical practices (e.g., antibiotic treatment), climate, season and host genetics. The recent advent of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies enhanced observational capacities and allowed for a better understanding of the relationship between distinct microorganisms within microbiota.
